VBDS still has plenty of dancing ahead before the summer break! Join us for our final Newcomer Review with Victor, summer workshops with Wanda, Slow Dance with John, our last Intro to Ballroom workshop before summer, and a special Open House Social Practice featuring a free Merengue lesson with Wanda. Plus — Dancing in the Square returns this summer with free Tuesday evening workshops in downtown Victoria. Everyone welcome!

Intermediate is back. Keep the momentum going after Newcomer and give yourself a bit more time to build confidence, connection, and comfort on the floor.
Join us for this three week workshop – open to all – no experience required!
Spring into West Coast Swing! Starting Sunday March 8 at 10:30AM!
The Rumba is often called the “dance of love” — expressive, smooth, and full of character. It’s the perfect dance to refine balance, connection, and musicality. This fall, we’re inviting you to explore it in our Bronze and Pre-Bronze classes with Wanda Kivitt.
Our Bronze Rumba class is the essential next step for dancers looking to grow their technique and style. But it’s at risk of cancellation unless more dancers register soon. Whether you are an experienced dancer or recently completed Pre-Bronze, this is your chance to step up, deepen your skills, and be part of the pathway toward Silver level classes in 2026.
Not quite ready for Bronze? Our Pre-Bronze Waltz & Cha Cha class is an excellent stepping stone. Build confidence, refine fundamentals, and set yourself up to progress into Bronze next season.
Unfortunately, our Intermediate class had to be cancelled this session due to low enrollment.
VBDS is committed to offering long-term opportunities for experienced dancers. But we can only do that together. Register now, secure your spot, and help make these classes a success. With your support, Bronze this year can grow into Silver next year — and keep the rhythm alive for all of us.
We regret to announce that the Silver/Gold Syllabus & Technique class with Victor has been cancelled this fall session. While we received requests for higher level classes, only one couple showed interest in registering for this class. As a volunteer-run society, we are committed to offering inspiring classes that are also feasible to run—and that requires a minimum number of dancers.

This series strengthens Bronze-level technique in Rumba and sets the foundation for higher levels. With consistent participation, our aim is to grow this stream into a Silver class in 2026.
While the Silver/Gold class won’t run this fall, we are committed to building feasible learning opportunities for experienced dancers. Your participation makes it possible for VBDS to offer classes for all members.
New session, fresh music, and a room full of people ready to move. If you’ve been meaning to get back on the floor—or try ballroom for the first time—this is your sign.
Ballroom is equal parts skill and story. You show up a little nervous, tie your shoes, and the first song lifts the room. Week by week the frame settles, the feet feel lighter, and suddenly you’re listening to music differently—counting, breathing, smiling.
